So Im helping a mate with his Samsung PS58C7000 and Marantz NR1601 trying to get the ARC working but no luck managed to get the amp switching off when the Tv turns off but cant get any audio from Freeview HD it is set to the right HDMI ports ARC to ARC But no luck with the sound when I run anynet+ the amp comes up in the search but doesnt come up in the list any info would be a great help cheers.
Firstly is your HDMI 1.4/a grade? according http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI it must be 1.4 or 1.4a to get ARC working. secondly does the TV have HDMI 1 port marked as ARC?
While your receiver is HDMI 1.4a compliant (it does handle 3D etc) - I'm 95% sure that it does not feature ARC. My advice, an optical cable between the TV and the receiver.
